Your system cannot send or receive information over the network. To correct the problem, follow these steps:
Check your physical connection to the network; the Ethernet cable may be loose or disconnected. For detailed instructions on connecting the cable see your Owners Guide. Note: you do not need to shut down the system to connect or disconnect the cable. To verify your network connection is working:
Open a shell window by going to the Toolchest and selecting “Desktop” and “Open Unix Shell.”
Type /usr/etc/ping hostname where hostname is a host that is known to be up and working on the network.
You should see one line of output for each second if the host is reachable.
Terminate the ping program by typing ^C (control “C”.)
If you do not get any output, see the “Troubleshooting” chapter in the online Personal System Administration Guide for detailed instructions on troubleshooting network problems.
For further assistance contact your System Administrator.
